EU SAYS VITAL STEP TOWARDS DE-ESCALATION
NEW DELHI: As India and Pakistan on Saturday worked out an understanding on stopping firing and military action, the UK and Saudi Arabia welcomed the development while the European Union termed it a "vital step towards de-escalation" and said all efforts must be made to ensure it is respected.
Germany said the ceasefire agreed between the two countries is the "first, important step out of the escalation spiral".
The directors general of military operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan have agreed to stop all firings and military action on land, air and sea with effect from 5 pm on Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said Saturday evening.
The brief announcement by the foreign secretary came shortly after US President Donald Trump said India and Pakistan have agreed to a "full and immediate" ceasefire after US-mediated talks.
